CHAPTER II
DESCRIPTION OF BECOMING A TRANSLATOR
2.1 Who is the Translator
Translators or enterpreters actually has imitator side and imitator theirself. These peoples develop their ability by extraordinary memory that help them to
remember one word that they listen just once. Robinson, 2005:13 According to Robinshon 2005: 15 translators or interpreters is also a
readers should absorb much knowledge by reading many books in some languages, fiction and nonfiction, technical materials, whish are useful for human
being. They are thirst for the real life experiences such as they do travelling, stay in abroad for a long time, learning foreign culture and languages, and atention
how the people around in using their languages. We often say that translator as our second job.
Generally, we can say a translators as scientist and artist, because that a translation is categorized as a sience. That is applied linguistic and also a art that
is art of languages. A translators as a sience, a translator should to mastery of source language, mastery of receptor language and mastery of the main discussion
from the translated text so that he can produce a translation fit with meaning and language style that fit with source language. Ahmad, 1984: 9
Experiences of a translator in trnslating many of text will increase their skill in translating. That is why, developing and increasing knowledge for a

translator became a part of ethics code of translator. If a translator feel difficulty in looking for comparison and meaning of a term, so they must do research form
refrences or from another references, because a good and qualify translators should to have high commitment and seriousness in doing career as a translator .
A good translator is a generalist.
2.2.The Role of Translator
According to Sakri 1985 : 82 a translator must have at least three other characteristics if he is to excel in his work. First, he needs to have a sincere
admiration for the formal features of the work to be translated, for without this he is unlikely to process either the patience or the insights necessary to reproduce a
fully adaquate equivalent. Second, he should have a respect for the content of the text, or he is likely to shortchange the message.Third, he must be willing to expres
his own creativity through someone else’s creation. These qualities may also involve the translator in certain serious liabilities. For example, his admiration for
the form of the original text may include him to reproduce a disproportionate amount of that form or to feel compelled to weight down the text with numerous
superfluous notes. He may also be too easily temted to reveal his mastery of the text by
introducing various formal subtleties, which may be pleasing to the receptor who also know the language of the source text in which case he really does not need a
translation but misleading to receptors unacquainted with the source language. This is one of the series criticisms that can be brought against the translation a

remarkably effective translation for persons who are already familiar with the Hebrew original, but often misleading much identification with the original text
can lead to a tendency to try to improve on it by correcting its apparent inaccuracies and glossing over its stylistic weaknesses and failures. A tendency to
alter the meaning of the text to fit the translator’s own presubpositions is too often found in translation made by those who most firmly declare their indenfication
with the original message.Hidayat,1995: 22 Though these attitudes of translator mat at first seem to be unrelated to a
framework for the analysis and evaluation of theories of translation, they do in fact have a great deal to do with the development of various theories and with the
promulgation and justification af related principles of translation. They are also involved in the setting of standards and in the development of expectancies on the
part of receptors.
